Virtues, defined as strengths or personality traits, enable a good or valuable life.Applying the concept of marital virtues to the context of the marital relationship is a result of recent positive psychology works. One of the tools for measuring marital virtues is the Marital Virtues Profile (MVP). Research has shown that marital virtues affect marital quality, stability, and adjustment. The MVP includes items that measure the individual and other-centeredness levels of marital virtues in a marital relationship. The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the martial virtues profile in married people in Izeh. To achieve this goal, 228 married individuals (118 females and 110 males) responded to the profile of martial virtues. The findings confirmed the five-factor structure of the marital virtues profile (admiration, understanding, sacrifice, justice, and forgiveness) in the Iranian sample as well. Findings also showed that this measure has good reliability and validity. The internal consistency of MVP was 0.89 using Cronbach's alpha and the correlation between MVP with the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) was 0/49. Therefore, the implication of this measure is recommended for family and marriage researchers, family and couples therapists and educators of marriage education programs.

Abstract: The Affective Events Theory (AET) is a psychological model that was developed by Weiss and Cropanzano. According to this theory, a person's emotional responses to events in the workplace will increasingly determine his or her future attitudes and behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine this theory by exploring the relationship between work-family enrichment and organizational citizenship behavior through job satisfaction and positive mood. Two hundred and seventy employees of National Iranian Drilling Company participated in this study. For data collection, participants completed the Work-to-Family Enrichment Scale (WFES), the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (JSQ) and the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (OCBS). Results indicated that work-family enrichment and family-work enrichment significantly correlated with organizational citizenship behavior through positive mood and job satisfaction. These results confirm the Affective Events Theory. The findings have been discussed based on mood as information and Affective Events Theories. The findings also indicated that some important organizational factors such as positive mood, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors are not only under influence of job conditions, but are influenced by family circumstances.
